Cooper Flagg loves Duke fans and they love him back.
The 17-year-old freshman guard and the No. 9-ranked Blue Devils hosted No. 2 Auburn at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Wednesday night, and Duke emerged with a surprising 84-78 victory over the Tigers in front of 9,314 fans.
After the big win, Flagg, who quickly became a fan favorite for the Cameron Crazies, made sure to celebrate the moment with the Blue Devils fans. First, Flagg formed a heart with his hands, then ran alongside fans, exchanging high fives with those in the front rows of seats.

It’s not hard to see why Duke fans are so excited about Flagg. The Newport, i. Native, who posted a game-high 22 points on Wednesday night, is the youngest player on the Blue Devils’ 2024-25 roster but leads the team in points, rebounds, assists and blocks.
Duke (6-2) is currently ranked in the top 10 and could move into the top 5 after its big win against Auburn.
